331 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

331 East 89th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Bill Kuklieu. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past year, with multiple rat sightings reported between June and August 2023, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) consistently found no violations.

The building has undergone regular rodent control measures, with bait applications recorded several times throughout 2023, and passing inspections in July, September, and October 2023. In late 2020, there were concerns about construction-related dust affecting indoor air quality and common areas, with complaints filed on December 28 and 31, 2020, regarding lead dust and construction dust, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested units, zero eradications, and zero re-infestations, indicating effective management of this potential concern.

Two complaints about unpermitted work in occupied multiple dwellings were filed in December 2020, but in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access. The building's housing maintenance code violations include a notice from April 2024 regarding failure to file the annual bedbug report, though previous filings between 2021 and 2023 showed compliance with zero reported infestations. Two work permits were issued for the building, one in December 2018 and another in December 2020, suggesting appropriate regulatory compliance for maintenance activities.
